CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Police used a Taser to subdue a man who rushed officers responding to the report of a domestic dispute on Friday.
Miguel Feliciano, 26, was taken into custody without incident afterward, according to a report from Sgt. Tim Hobbs of the Clearlake Police Department.
Just before 10 a.m. Friday Clearlake Police officers were dispatched to a trailer in the Lakefront Mobile Home Park, located at 5575 Old Highway 53, for a welfare check, Hobbs reported.
He said dispatch advised that the reporting party – a local school’s vice principal who had given a student who was suspended a ride home – discovered a heated argument inside the residence.
When the subjects inside would not come to the door for her or their child, the vice principal left with the child and called the police, Hobbs said.
Hobbs and Officer Tyler Paulsen responded, and he said when they arrived they could hear subjects inside the residence arguing.
After making contact with a Kristein Feliciano, 27, near a window by the front door she refused to open the door, Hobbs said.
Officer Paulsen believed a subject who was on active state parole lived at the residence. Once a check via dispatch confirmed the subject was on active state parole, officers requested the female open the door or it would be forced open, Hobbs said.
Kristein Feliciano still refused and the door was forcibly opened. Once inside the residence, Miguel Feliciano was observed trying to climb out a window at the rear end of the residence, Hobbs said.
When ordered to stop Miguel Feliciano began running directly at officers. As he got closer to the officers he put his hands up in a fighting position and continued toward them, Hobbs said.
A X26 Taser was deployed and Miguel Feliciano was struck with both the probes. Hobbs said they then placed Miguel Feliciano under arrest for resisting or obstructing a police officer.
Complaint charges also will be filed with the Lake County District Attorney’s Office against Kristein Feliciano for resisting or obstructing a police officer, Hobbs said.
Miguel Feliciano was medically cleared for incarceration and transported to the Lake County Jail, according to Hobbs.
Hobbs said the parolee who lives at the residence was not home at the time of this incident and it was determined there had not been a crime between the Felicianos prior to the arrival of police.
